Topic: DU-BRO wheels slipping on hubs (Read 684 times)

I'm working on a robot that uses 4 x 3.5" DU-BRO wheels. The issue I'm having is that the tyres are slipping on the hubs at high load, which stalls the wheel. Is there are way to bond the tyres more firmly to the hubs? I could drive screws through the hubs and into the tyres but that would be so crude.

I had some 4mm square rubber strip lying about. I wedged a length of this strip between the tyre and the rim on each wheel. Although I only did this on the outside-facing wall it appears to have stopped the tyres slipping.
